How to solve for x using the equation: 12 = -4 (- 6x - 3)

1 answer:

7 0

I don’t know how to explain it so I am just giving the equation

12=-4(-6x-3x)
Divide both sides by 4
12/4=-4(-6x-3x)/4
3=-4(-6x-3x)/4
3=-(-6x-3x)
3=9x
9x/9 = 3/9
Divide both sides by 9
x=1/3

A bird feeder 24 times using 6 cups each time. A bag of seeds holds 32 cups. How many bags of seed did he use?

pishuonlain [190]

First, let's find how many cups the bird feeder uses 24 times.

24 x 6 = (20 x 6) + (4 x 6) = 120 + 24 = 148 cups.

Now, let's divide 148 by 32.

148 ÷ 32 = 4.625 bags of seed.

I hope this helped!

Write 4 numbers that round to 700,000 when rounded to the nearest hundred thousand

enot [183]

Well off the top of my head, (700,001),(700,002),(700,003), and (700,004) are 4 numbers that round to 700,00 when rounded to the nearest hundred thousand. But if you're looking for something a little more unique, then any number from 650,000 to 749,999 would round to to 700,000 when rounded to the nearest hundred thousand. I hope this helps!
